"A nine-to-five job though, not the inspired and visionary piece of work we all know this company can deliver."

That's because the soul of Apple passed away October 5th 2011.

In the Philippines the price of a brand new 4S is about half of the price of the I-Phone 5.

And this was the last chance... No more designs and innovations from Jobs! R.I.P Apple.

The iPhone 5 audio quality is the worst of all phones because I have never seen so very bad stereo crosstalk, -76.5, when there is no headphones attached, connected to an active external amplifier, and it is not good with headphones attached, -56.2!

I want a phone that easily fits in the pocket, not a tablet. I have a tablet, my phone is separate from that.

As always, a great review by GSMArena, fair and clear showing both pros and cons, while also having a good writing style... Anyway, I still think that the best review GSMArena has done so far is Nokia 808's review.

I would like to commend GSMarena for a very objective, unbiased review of the iPhone 5. Your integrity is the main reason why I am not leaving your site. Excellent job!!!

not a total disaster. but i wont buy it. id wait for lumia 920. it's like this, i love the camera, but i think the lumia 920's cam is way better. i love the screen, especially it's movie friendly aspect ratio, but i'd rather have the bigger screen with higher ppi of the 920. and the supersensitive touch is also a plus. the design, oh yes, i love the black and slate ip5 but the yellow 920 will make the iphone 5 look laid back.
i think the iphone 5 is great if ur upgrading from 4s, but i won't move to the ios fam for this....
first choice: wp8second choice: ios
third: android.
:Dmaybe i'd buy my girl an iphone 5 for christmas, but not for me.
i don't buy a phone because of it's name... i buy phone that would suit my needs.
i say that cause apple consumers will buy the iphone 5 simply because.... it's the latest iphone!

this is easily the best iPhone 5 review on the net. Kudos GSMArena for great work.

Objective, concise and to the point with vision what future can bring. Compared to engadget review, one really see what a proper journalism can be.

Keep up the good work, looking forward to Lumia920 which might truly become a 'new iPhone' - despite speaking from an android hacker perspective...

Finally an objective review. Had to chuckle at "mono video recording"... what's the point in 1080p when you're still stuck with MONO? Oh well. Apple.
